I'm very petite I really hate how narrow my hips are. Ever since middle school I waited and waited for my hips to get wider as I grew but it never really happened. I've even tried to gain weight to change it, but I tend to not gain wait in this area. I'm scared nothing can be done because the bones aren't wide enough. Is there surgery that can be done to widen my hips? Exercises? Could hormones like estrogen and progesterone increase the amount of fat I gain in that area?

Answer: Wider Hips? Thank you for your question. Without pictures or an exam it is rather hard to give you specific advice. For patients that want a fuller profile in their hips, sometimes fat grafting can be an option. Unfortunately, those patients who do not have fullness in those areas often do not have much fat tissue to donate for grafting. Only with a consultation and exam can someone discuss with you what options might be available to you. Find a local qualified plastic surgeon and get a consultation to discuss your goals.Best of luck!
